As of this morning I am 17 weeks pregnant. Still finding it so hard to believe, I have to get out of bed each morning and look at my belly to try and convince myself! Since the 16 week mark, by belly diameter (at it's widest point - which is currently just under my belly button) gained another 4 cm which was totally exciting and promising, and I'm measuring it and my weight once a week now for signs of improvement!I still have not gained a pound during this pregnancy.....I was losing weight when we fell pregnant and then continued to do so until probably 3 or 4 weeks ago. Since then I have maintained that weight. I wonder when some extra will start to stick? My belly is definitely growing.......and my appetite is normal (except I not as interested in dessert as normal.)
(above is my belly @ 16 weeks)
Last Tuesday we had our 16 week checkup and our Ob checked the baby size - by looking at my belly and checked for the heartbeat. We got to listen to the heartbeat for ages! It sounded a little like a galloping horse! Totally cute!
I'm hanging out for when I can definitely feel embie's movements. I've had a couple of instances where I've felt something and am not too sure, so I'm just waiting for a definite one - grow embie grow! If it's anything like its Dad, I'm sure it will be a total wriggler/fiddler the whole time its awake!
As of Christmas day I will be 17 weeks 5 days pregnant which totally beats the pants off last Christmas when we were also pregnant, but most likely miscarrying. I can't wait until next Christmas when we are going to have a gorgeous little someone to spoil rotten!
15 more sleeps til our 19 week scan with a different specialist, and we find out how our baby's doing and what sex!
